The picture of the semi-finals is completed. Medvedev and Hurkacz on the pitch in the morning session. Among the women Noskova-Yamstrenka and Kalinskaya-Quinwen
Last two matches of the quarterfinals today, Wednesday 24 January, at the Australian Open. The first to take the field will be the Russian Daniil Medvedev, who will challenge Hubert Hurkacz (second match at the Rod Laver Arena, the first starts at 2).
The paths of Medvedev and Hurkacz
The world number 3 in the round of 16 overcame the Portuguese Nuno Borges (6-3, 7-6, 5-7, 6-1), while the Pole prevailed against the French Arthur Cazaux (7-6, 7- 6, 6-4) and now he has the opportunity to fly to the semifinals of a Slam. A few months ago he revealed that he had two great friends in the Tour: Jannik and Grigor, he responded bluntly, referring to Sinner and Dimitrov.
In the evening round Alcaraz and Zverev
Whoever passes between Medvedev and Hurkacz will challenge the winner of the match between Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev in the semi-final: it will be the second match of the Australian evening session at the Rod Laver Arena (the first starts at 9.15 am Italian time). In the round of 16 the Spaniard got rid of Miomir Kecmanovic in just under two hours (6-4, 6-4, 6-0): the technical difference between the two was too great, with the Serbian who, despite a lot of good will, had to raise the white flag. I am proud of the level of play I am expressing – said the number 2 in the world at the end of the won match -. It will be very tough against Zverev, we’ll see how it ends. I arrive at the quarter-finals with great confidence, because every day I feel better. I got better? I hadn’t played well at Rod Laver Arena in previous years. This is a tough, particular field. The growth was certainly as sudden as at Wimbledon and I hope it ends up the same way. For his part, Zverev eliminated the British Cameron Norrie in five sets (7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 4-6, 7-6).
